A Visit to California

Family - What a Blessing!

It was about time we were able to make it out to California to visit our daughter and her wonderful family! The grandchildren are growing up way to fast, and this visit we saw some big changes in them - We both had to reach up to hug Ryan, and the girls are becoming beautiful young ladies. But we had so much fun!

Samatha often gets a bit silly.

The girls and I always do lots of crafts while Dale and Ryan play golf. Usually, Sarah's husband Adam plays also, but since he hasn't played for quite some time, he decided it would not be very good for his ego to go against those two.

Sometimes the girls do some
silly things to poor Grandpa.

The girls tried to teach Grandma their new game - I'm a slow learner - somehow you obtain an apartment, get married, have a baby, and the baby grows up. When you tune into the game each day, it is a surprise as to what stage your baby is at - but you have to care for it! A good game to learn some responsibility, but I have to say, I don't think I was a very good parent, since I never quite got the hang of what was going on!

We have been back home for a little over a week now, trying to rest up (it was a long drive!) and get caught up on things. Cathy is, of course, back to trying to get those quilts out!

More quilts soon!
